Another fellow netter (bkline@smtp.csof.com) gave me this address for ordering
the current C++ Working Papers.  The WP are dated Jan 1994.  The person I spoke
with didn't seem to think there was going to be another revision of the WP
before the acutual draft is published (targetted for this Sept.).  In any case,
the WP is approximately US$55, whereas, the draft standard will probably be
much more owing to the fact that ISO will have the copyright to the document.

BTW, you can simply call and put it on your VISA, if you don't mind giving your
credit card number to someone over the phone.  When I called, I got voice mail.
I didn't hear back from them until about three days later.  So, by all means,
leave a message - they'll get back to you eventually!

Is there anyway I could lay my hands on a draft C++ standard? I do
have the annotated C++ book, but I guess things have moved a bit
further since I bought the book.
